NOBODY WORSHIP ABEDI PELE IN GHANA. HE WAS A GREAT FOOTBALER WE RESPECT AND ADMIRE BUT NOTHING MORE. HE EVEN QUIT THE NATIONAL TEAM IN 1988 AFTER A GAME AGAINST LIBERIA. BURKHAD ZIESE CONVINCED HIM TO COMEBACK IN 1990. WHEN WE WON THE AFRICAN CUP HE WAS JUST AN ORDINARY MEMBER OF THE SQUAD. THE KEY PLAYERS WERE OPOKU NTI, GEORGE ALHASSAN, EMMANUEL QUASHIE AKA STRIKER BODOI

Who cares, we just love them as we loved Ibrahim Sunday, Baba Yare, Malik Jebel, Abukari Gariba, etc. I think they are well exposed and so do not see themselves in tribal colours.

They're not from Navrongo, they're from Paga. Paga is towards the boarder between Ghana and Burkina Faso.
Nice try anyways

What is your point Dr. Truth? Abedi Pele is highly respected in Ghana. How many Ghanaians do you know who has fathered sons and trained them to be successful footballers?

By the way, Andre Ayew was voted the Man of the Match in today's victory over Manchester United.

More money in the bank for the Abedi family. Sweet.

It's early in the season, but Dede has impressed so far. His desire to win alone is just awesome!

Ever since Andre joined Swansea, I've be fan of that club. Any time they play I itch and rush home to read about what happened - with a question always lurking - "Did Ayew score?" It's not that I expect him to score in every match (that's unrealistic); but it's always a great joy to read about how he scored!
Andre is showing great character. He refuses in his interview to be the center of praise. He really seems to have connected well with his team mates and with Gomis, who is also doing great!
There is one thing Andre has picked from his dad. He's an engaging player. On the field, he gives his all! And it's paying off! Now the British press and fans are getting to know what substance he's made of.
I'm happy for him. I urge Andre to continue to work hard. Keep the momentum, boy!

I said on this platform that Andre was better than willian in my opinion. And will contribute much to chelsea than the latter. And there were people on Ghanaweb insulting me for sharing my opinion telling me i know nothing about football. Those people shud now bow their heads in shame and know that it is rather they who know nothing about football. Dede is even now becoming a game changer. Well done son, keep on keeping on.

Don't worry yourself Bro, there are millions who simply hate the name "Ayew" out of petty jealousy. Read the words of the first contributor. It's a name not etched in marble, skin pain can't wipe it away.

Good write up, very interesting reading. Am happy for Dede. Hopefully, he maintains the pace. The EPL is a long, winding jouney and offers an excellent test for our gem.

Look even in the whole wide world there isn't any soccer legend who raised this number to play at this level.
Give praise when due.

IT IS NOT ONLY THE GOALS THAT MAKE ME LOVE THIS BOY. His COMMITMENT TO THE GAME. He is always desirous to give his best. That is more important & with that come the goals. He gives 200%in each game. Even when he flops, he gives his all. These are the sort of players we need. Afriyie Acquah is along those lines. Schlupp & Baba are there too. We need more of such players.
GOOD LUCK TO BLACK STARS ON SATURDAY.
